Does not meet any criterion on WP:NM and has no verifiable reliable sources. Wikipedia's musician notability standards have changed since this article was created in 2005 by Badagnani (talk · contribs) (who has been indefinitely blocked for over a year, since 23:52, 12 January 2010 (UTC)).

Keep. The article requires cleanup - there's unreferences assertions in there. But WP:NM is met: #6 - "Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians". RichardOSmith (talk) 19:26, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I've added a reference to the article from an Allmusic article that discusses the band in the context of a reissue CD. Normally I'd say that critical attention is enough to demonstrate notability. That said, though, the review itself is rather lukewarm, talking of their "rather humble existence".

Keep. I was gonna cite #6, but Richard was faster. It has Christina Billotte and Mary Timony, should be enough to keep it alive. Just needs cleanup and sources. ༺ gabrielkfl ༻ (talk) 19:37, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Can't find anywhere to say it is a notable band. Upon clicking on the reference, it shows a CD that was released in 1997, however WP says that the band operated from 1990-1991; yet the source says an album was released six years later.

It's a CD reissue of an earlier LP -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:10, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Definitely notable, perhaps even "legendary"[1].--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 21:12, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets WP:NM and now has verifiable reliable sources. Clearly a notable band with notable former members.--Michig (talk) 10:17, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
